It's Art That's Taught Me To Think

There Are Occasions When I Have Moved Boulders, But I'm Reluctant To, Especially Ones That Have Been Rooted In A Place For Many Years.

Understanding The Materials I Work With... Gives Me A Deeper Understanding Of My Place. And It's Helped Me Make Sense Of The Changes That Are Happening To Me As I Grow Older.

Everything Has The Energy Of Its Making Inside It.

Three Or Four Stones In One Firing Will All React Differently. I Try To Achieve A Balance Between Those That Haven't Progressed Enough And Those About To Go Too Far.

In Contact With Materials, I Can See So Much More With My Hands Than I Can Just With My Eyes. I'm A Participant, Not A Spectator. I See Myself Both As An Object And A Material, And The Human Presence Is Really Important To The Landscapes In Which I Work.
